THE FUTURE

I am 15
With long brown hair
And big dreams
Everyone says i dress funny
Eccentric they call me
I guess that's just shows how
Dull
Everyone is
I am not dull
I think i have a big head
Big enough for my thoughts though
Luckily for me
I have adhd
I can't sleep, I can't stay still
But my body can race as fast as my mind can
Isn't that interesting
Its like i can catch my thoughts
I search for them sometimes
To see if I can catch the source of one of them
I can't
I can't do a lot of things
But i won't ever stop trying to
I can do a lot of things
I'm only a child yet I can overcome so much
Understand so much
I stand tallest
on my tippy toes
I believe in me
That's all that matters
My name is gonna be in lights some day
Im 15
With long brown hair
And big dreams

THEM

Older and “wise”
Much to my generations demise
Always forceful
Always pushy
They'll step over the line and
Say they were only trying to push me
Where exactly? Off a cliff?
Nosey and busy bodied
Just one generation to far to understand
Just about anything
Uncaring about the end of the world
Because they will be dead by then
Shrug off problems they set us up for
Yet “that phone” is blamed for my room not being cleaned
Or “that mouth” is why i was sent to the office in school today
The older generation
The towering powerful people of the past
Please stay there
Sincerely
The future

LISTEN TO ME SPEAK

Sleepless on my bed i lay
Tired and weary from the passing day
Mind and body in disarray
Hoping for the coming of another day
I've been shamed i've been shoved aside
All for what?
Curse this pride
Couldn't I have lied?
Said i was unaware
Of all the pain in plain sight
Screaming pleading through the night
How am i the only one who can see
Wrong is wrong and i am right
How is it they speak upon what they do not know
Not willing to be corrected
Never willing to grow
I fight and I fight for the upperhand
That i am wrongfully slapped with
I cannot watch this cruel reign
This brainwashing gain
Of undeserved power
Growing stronger and dumber by the hour
Spread and followed like a curse to humankind
It looks to be the sweetest option
The most tasteful poison for the mind
Not mine
I know between wicked and wonderous
I know between fattal and fascinating
I know between power and predator
I will scream at the top of my lungs
I am done
I wont be pushed around anymore
Intelligence is not a weakness
Its my strength
This cruel undeserving world
Doesn't deserve me
Nor do the people within its bounds
People who hate
People who kill and fight
People who hurt
Unforgiving actions committed
On doorsteps
In homes
All around the earth
I do not resign
I shall never accept
I will never hold again these secrets i have kept
Teachers cant beat you
With sticks anymore
They shall only persecute you
Keep a sharp tongue
As well as a sharp mind and you will see
Parents cant beat you
They shall only cast you aside
happily live through your pain
I can think for myself
I wish they would listen to me
When i speak
I can handle this
I've got it
I am a woman of much power
Listen to me
Can you hear me
I will never say please
You will listen to my plea’s
It will always be for our benefit
As a whole
I promise
You'll all see
Just listen to me
